Parking at 22 Avenue Du Port in Ville-Marie
The Montreal Aquarium is at 22 Avenue du Port in Ville-Marie, near Gay Village. The Old Port of Montréal’s visitor information lists paid parking at the Old Port, with rates starting at $35 for 0 to 3 hours and rising to $70 for a full day of 12 to 24 hours (oldportofmontreal.com).
The Old Port site says there are no free parking spaces on site, and reservations are not available (oldportofmontreal.com). This is the clearest official parking option for drivers heading to the waterfront attraction, so allow for the higher full-day rate when planning a longer visit.
Busy Waterfront Periods and Ville-Marie Street Parking
Parking pressure around the waterfront is likely to be greatest when visitors are also heading to Old Port attractions, particularly during full-day visits and busy weekend periods. The Old Port visitor information identifies its parking as paid rather than free, so drivers should plan around the published charge instead of expecting complimentary spaces (oldportofmontreal.com).
Street parking around 22 Avenue du Port is in Ville-Marie, where restrictions can change from one block to the next.
